When you leave secondary school, you have different options, including going to a university or a vocational school, getting a job or taking a gap year. Sometimes choices may make you confused, so you should examine all your options before making any plans for the future. Below are some things you may like to try before making your decision. If there are teachers you really love or look up to, you can ask them for some advice. Your teachers have been observing you for months, so they know your strengths, talents, and personality. You may share your dreams and concerns with them and ask them to give you an honest opinion about what option may be suitable for you. If possible, you can talk to career advisers when you are still undecided about your future plans and ask for their advice. If you can't find a career adviser, you can take some career-matching tests online. They are typically created by career experts and psychologists, so they can help you make an informed decision. Visiting a college or university campus is also important as it will make you think about if you can see yourself there or not. Usually, educational institutions have orientation days for secondary school students to experience university life first-hand. You could even contact the university. So try following the above suggestions, and you will certainly make a more informed decision about your future plans.

While most desert animals will drink water if confronted with it, for many of them the opportunity never comes. Yet all living things must have water, or they will expire. The herbivores find it in desert plants. The carnivores slake their thirst with the flesh and blood of living prey. One of the most remarkable adjustments, however, has been made by the tiny kangaroo rat, who not only lives without drinking but subsists on a diet of dry seeds containing about 5% free water. Like other animals, he has the ability to manufacture water in his body by a metabolic conversion of carbohydrates. He is notable for the parsimony with which he conserves his small supply by every possible means, expending only minuscule amounts in his excreta and through evaporation from his respiratory tract. Investigation into how the kangaroo rat can live without drinking water has involved various experiments with these small animals. Could kangaroo rats somehow store water in their bodies and slowly utilize these resources in the long periods when no free water is available from dew or rain? The simplest way to settle this question was to determine the total water content in the animals to see if it decreases as they are kept for long periods on a dry diet. If they slowly use up their water, the body should become increasingly dehydrated, and if they begin with a store of water, this should be evident from an initial high-water content. Results of such experiments with kangaroo rats on dry diets for more than 7 weeks showed that the rats maintained their body weight. There was no trend toward a decrease in water content during the long period of water deprivation. When the kangaroo rats were given free access to water, they did not drink water. They did nibble on small pieces of watermelon, but this did not change appreciably the water content in their bodies, which remained at 66.3 to 67.2 during this period. This is very close to the water content of dry-fed animals (66.5), and the availability of free water, therefore, did not lead to any “storage” that could be meaningful as a water reserve. This makes it reasonable to conclude that physiological storage of water is not a factor in the kangaroo rat's ability to live on dry food. (Adapted from “the land of the sun” by Lincoln Barnett) Question 34: What is the main idea of this article? A. Kangaroo rats and it’s life on dry food B. Water in the desert for animals C.
